Ahead of New Year's Day 1922, a laundry service in Milwaukee wished its customers a happy new year.

In the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle.



I don't think this is the kind of "reputation" the laundry would have wanted.

The Nazi party had adopted the swastika as its symbol only a year beforehand, and it was still used as an innocent decorative motif with no associations with genocide. But it is really jarring to see. 

By Rosh Hashanah 1922, the swastika was dropped.


("Almost" dry?)

Here's what is that location today: General Rubber Company.
